"Super book ! ...starts very innocence...but it is a very good thriller in space...if you can listen to audiobook, do it ! It is really good ! 💥💯💥"

"This is one of the books that made me more interested in astronomy. Has some cool science embedded in it that the author makes easy to grasp, and the storyline is very interesting with some cool twists. Definitely love having the main character as a teenager, since it gives a more humane feelings of being in space alone."

"Can anybody tell me if the book is clean? I want to read it but I dont it to have sex scenes, bad language, or anything similar. Thank you!"

"a classic cheesy space sci fi book with a few good twists at the end, definitely recommend if you're looking for a feel good novel set among the stars. "

"I picked up this book (age 15) with the expectation that it has an introspective and relateable coming of age story, but by the time I was halfway through it, I was too shocked and disturbed to finish it properly. I am at fault for this as I didn't realize/notice that this was a "sci-fi thriller." With that being said, anyone who's considering reading this book should know that it is an allegorical cautionary tale about (internet) grooming. And while it admittedly has a unique premise, I am not at liberty to say whether it's a good representation of it. It also contains other serious themes/situations (such as underage drinking and a minor being exposed to p*rn). There's also gore/violence toward the end."

"This was SO GOOD. Sci-fi, mystery/thriller, and somehow also a coming of age story all wrapped up in one. The science alone of extended space travel is so cool and (I think) accurate, let alone the actual mystery unfolding on the pages. Definitely recommend for fans of scifi looking to switch up the pace!"

"4/5 Not my cup of tea but it’s a really good book and i would definitely recommend."
Ashley
"Written very well, for most of the book we really only have one character but the authors writing makes it so that’s enough- we’re alone with Romy. The ending could have made me cry. I want to see this as a film but only an indie film where I don’t recognize any of the actors. "

"This book was amazing! At first I felt a little bored just because it talks mostly of the spacecraft, but I was so wrong. I loved how it teaches you to be aware of the dangers of talking to strangers you’ve never met. 10/10 definitely recommend!"
